Being a 13-year-old cat has its perks!
No one expects you to play anymore, so they are really amused when you get the zoomies and go flying around the house.
No one expects you to gain much weight at this age, so they let you eat a little more food than they used to.
No one expects you to be awake the cat-usual 6 hours a day anymore, so now I sleep more like 20hrs.
Being a senior cat definitely has its advantages, but I can’t remember what they are…
How old are you?

Mom has decided that since she must stay 6 feet away from all other humans that a dog leash is a perfect 6-foot tool to ensure the perfect distance is achieved. We learned a new term last week called ‘social distancing.’ The perfect way to practice social distancing is to have at least 2 dogs, but 3 or even 4 may be better, all on 6-foot leads, spread out around the human at the center.
On a serious note, please take this terrible earth-shattering COVID-19 situation seriously my friends. Only you can protect you and your loved ones. We have a great deal to learn about this virus, transmission, illness, and recovery. This is not a drill! Wash your paws for at least 20 seconds (I sing the ABC alphabet song), limit human contact (which means 4X as many pet cuddles on a normal day), and be smarter about what you put in your mouth (tell Sofie that, please).
Mom is keeping us very close today because she needs to be in a good vibe bubble: it is her birthday and the world is making her feel older than dirt.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Noel, the Christmas-cat, will be 13 years young on Tuesday. If you search ‘Noel’ on the sidebar, you will probably find more posts at the DogDaz Zoo on her then any of the other animals. Maybe because she is the oldest of the current pack, or maybe because she is so photogenic. I can’t believe that this little white terribly ill rescued kitten grew into this amazing white rabbit-fur purr machine. Noel has the Feline Herpes (FVR) virus, which almost left her blind. I had to carry her for a month close to my chest to keep her breathing and now look at her: Queen of the Zoo.
Happy Birthday, Queen Noel!

I was standing in the yard with the dogs and one of the many many cardinals that live in my yard, graced me with a quiet moment so that I could take a photo of him. The other day, there were 4 vibrant red males in my mock orange bush, but alas, I did not have my phone/camera.
Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Isn’t it funny how the animals chose a favorite toy for a while and then move on to another? This week, for Louise, it is the blue dog.
She lies on it. She carries it around and wants to play tug. I can’t wait to see what toy it will be next week.

I thought this was a perfect black and white of Louise from 2016 for Daylight Savings Day. A shiny black dog lying in the spring sun.
Happy Black and White Sunday!

It appears that Noel pulled out a whole claw and now has a fungal infection going on. She did not like going to the doctor, but she was as good as gold. She even let them take her in the backroom and cut her nails. The pinky claw grew back thick and dark and I was worried it was going to turn into her pad. They cut it really short. Let’s see how it comes back in. She was happy to get home and go directly to sleep in Louise’s office bed.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Charles wanted to lie on the blanket, but Mini Cooper got there first!
Usually, she lies on the towel on the pillow to the right, but she changed her mind. So shortly after this shot, Charlie climbed up on the pillow and laid there instead.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
